Welcome to OpenSourceThinClient

OpenSourceThinClient is a boot image which allows low-end PCs to be used as a thin-client to login to remote computers. The project is a modified version of Xubuntu Core that starts up into a simple menu for RDP and SSH services. The OS is as lightweight as possible so that it can be run using a USB with persistent storage.

Download the ISO and create a bootable USB

How do I boot the ISO now that I have it downloaded?

To boot your ISO from a USB device, click Documentation above. This will bring you to the site with walkthroughs on how to get your thin client set up.

Want to build it yourself?

We created a bash script to install all of the packages and dependencies automatically when executed:

# Update before installing packages
sudo apt-get update -y

# Install YAD
sudo apt-get install -y yad

# Install X2GO
sudo apt-get install x2goclient -y

# Install Remmina
sudo apt-get install remmina -y

# Install Wireguard
sudo apt-get install wireguard -y

# Install konsole
sudo apt-get install konsole -y

# Install xpra
sudo apt-get install xpra -y

# Install OpenVPN
sudo apt-get install openvpn -y

Configure the menu to run on boot
